No idea this morning, but he sure looks "used up". Those bags under his eyes makes him look like he hasn't slept in weeks.So is today you get to use the SKY LIFT and finish up your panels? How has the temps been lately?I don't know if it is old age, but the Sun seems to be a lot hotter on me. I can't hardly stand to go out of the shade, even when I'm riding the lawn mower. And you don't get a good mower job when you are just mower in the shade of the trees.

Roger,The sky lift came yesterday afternoon, and today the beast will be put to use. It is an amazing piece of equipment. I will have pictures tomorrow.

I agree with you . . . the heat gets to me a lot worse than when I was a young man. Even when I come in after working in the sun, it is like it is hard to snap back to feeling normal. It has been 105 in the shade the last week. And, the greenhouse work is not in the shade.

Time is running out. I have one more week before school starts, so I must get the panels on this weekend.PJM

Yup, Rob is the Winner. Admiral Wilkes. Read up on the Trent Affair. Wilkes was almost caused the Confederacy to win by almost drawing the british into the Civil War on the side of the south. Google Trent Affair.

While I will not be having a victory celebration tomorrow, I will be enjoying Pam's Belgiam Waffles. 6:00 AM pam?PJM

Pam,I am sorry you live far far away. You better gas up the car, and get going now, to be here on time. I have things all set up on the balcony. It will be a breakfast to remember. Mrs. PJM will be so surprised.PJM

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
